A great deal of progress, but of course always more to do. My uncle always said, "Plan the work, then work the plan." Looks like that's what you are doing.
This is such an awesome project. I hope that the railway lasts into perpetuity. So many of these backyard railways get torn up when the owners move or die. I wish I lived closer to you.
Always a pleasure seeing how much progress you and the gang are making. Just remember, enjoyment is second and safety is first. Hope you and your guests have a great time with the rides, my friend.
Great job! It’s awesome that you’re using new cameras. It’s always fun to see some behind-the-scenes moments from the construction of The Eau Galle Railway. I wanted to ask, could you recommend a video about the locomotives you use?
Thanks so much! I wish there was a video about the locomotives we use. They are Hunslets, with Deutz engines, and we believe they were used in the Vale nickel mines of Manitoba. We believe they are 9 or 10 tonners. We've seen books about Hunslets, but we've never seen a book that features our style of Hunslet. We're always looking for more information on them.
@@EauGalleScenicRailway Thank you for the reply! I hope your team will have some time in the future to film a video about these unique locomotives - they truly are a part of history. I wanted to ask: I’ve read that similar locomotives have special safety features, such as sealed housings to prevent sparks from escaping, as well as cooling and control systems to minimize the risk of ignition in mine conditions. I’m curious if your locomotives have these features, and if so, does it make their maintenance more challenging? Thanks again, and best of luck!
Great to see all is working out well bro, ones I follow on Utoob use strong magnetic bases for their cameras mounts on dozers, excavators and trailers or trucks transporting them that seam to work well also. Enjoyable video by the way. Safe travels. Ken.
You're right, it does look like that. I don't remember noticing any dip there, but we haven't added top ballast to this area yet or tamped it so we could certainly have had some settling.
We live less than a mile northeast of your railroad and had no idea what is going on back there. Just today a friend stopped by to say that she had just had a train ride. How could my wife and I get a ride? Pete, 2476 10th av.
I noticed you use 119 for track laying and 120 for passenger cars. Does Todd have a preference, or does he pick a different locomotive each day? Maybe a video showing the subtle differences.

I bet your uncle was a wise man.

What a ride
It's coming along. Thanks for following our channel.
I enjoyed the ride!
At the rate you are going you will need a ballast hopper car to keep up with the track laying crew!
It would be nice.
Track work looks very good.
Thanks

Do you have a train whistle? This would be a great addition!
Both locomotives are equipped with horns. Haven't got a lot of footage of them being used yet.
I thought Justin wasn't allowed to have a knife ever since "the incident". 😅
He's proficient with a wide array of fine cutlery
looks like a big dip in the track starting at time stamp 1:30

It basically comes down to which locomotive is hooked up to which cars. But yeah, we should do a vid like that at some point anyway.
